My prediction held true, it was a cold weekend with a decent amount of snowfall coming from the Northwest. It snowed briefly this morning due to some leftover precipitation from the large storm that is now over Michigan. A large warm front carrying low pressure is approaching from the West, which is causing a precipitation system to move our way beforehand. This system could possibly push north and avoid the Eau Claire area, but with our luck we should expect some more precipitation tonight. A high SI value from the upper air soundings tells us that we shouldn't expect any severe weather anytime soon. Taking a look at the rest of the country, the South is continuously being bombarded with freezing rain, causing massive transportation problems and power outages.
I'm not particularly happy about it, but Eau Claire has just broken the previous record for the coldest winter in history. This means that the average temperature is lower than ever recorded in Eau Claire, Wisconsin. Hopefully it won't last all year.
Today's Haiku
Congratulations
Coldest winter ever in
Eau Claire, Wisconsin
